Bronx Democratic County Leader Statement from Marcos A. Crespo on Election of New DNC Chair

Today, former U.S. Secretary of Labor Tom Perez was elected Chair of the Democratic National Committee, becoming first Latino to chair the Democratic Party at the national level.

Now, more than ever, our Party needs leadership that will listen to Democrats at every level and every corner of the country, while rebuilding a movement that will advance the vision and the values that define us. The Party leader is charged with rebuilding state organizations and get-out-the-vote efforts in states and raising hundreds of millions of dollars in hopes of unseating Republicans up and down ballots in 2018 and promoting a Democratic presidential nominee who will win in 2020.

We are confident that Tom Perez is the right guy for the job and we enthusiastically look forward to working with him to help him build the Party that every Democrat, and every American, deserves.
